1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Introduction: Motor imagery (MI)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCI) offers promising applications in rehabilitation. Traditional force-based MI-BCI paradigms generally require subjects to imagine constant force during static or dynamic state. It is challenging to meet the demands of dynamic interaction with force intensity variation in MI-BCI systems. Methods: To address this gap, we designed a novel MI paradigm inspired by daily life, where subjects imagined variations in force intensity during dynamic unilateral upper-limb movements. In a single trial, the subjects were required to complete one of three combinations of force intensity variations: large-to-small, large-to-medium, or medium-to-small. During the execution of this paradigm, electroencephalography (EEG) features exhibit dynamic coupling, with subtle variations in intensity, timing, frequency coverage, and spatial distribution, as the force intensity imagined by the subjects changed. To recognize these fine-grained features, we propose a feature fusion network with a spatial-temporal-enhanced strategy and an information reconstruction (FN-SSIR) algorithm. This model combines a multi-scale spatial-temporal convolution module with a spatial-temporal-enhanced strategy, a convolutional auto-encoder for information reconstruction, and a long short-term memory with self-attention, enabling the comprehensive extraction and fusion of EEG features across fine-grained time-frequency variations and dynamic spatial-temporal patterns. Results: The proposed FN-SSIR achieved a classification accuracy of 86.7% ± 6.6% on our force variation MI dataset, and 78.4% ± 13.0% on the BCI Competition IV 2a dataset. Discussion: These findings highlight the potential of this paradigm and algorithm for advancing MI-BCI systems in rehabilitation training based on dynamic force interactions.
